Having scored raves and several awards over the course of its festival play last year, the Adrienne Barbeau-starring horror short ALICE JACOBS IS DEAD is now available for widespread viewing, and its creator tells Fango that we’ll likely be seeing more of the story.

ALICE JACOBS IS DEAD, which we previously reported on here, stars genre veteran Barbeau as the wife of a scientist (BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS’ John LaZar) who has developed the cure for a widespread zombie virus—but can’t save her from succumbing. Indieflix picked up the distribution rights and has made it available to view on-demand here; it’s also on sale at Amazon.com on DVD for just $5.95, with a bunch of special features:

• Audio commentary by writer/director Horwitz

• Behind-the-scenes footage

• Deleted scene

• Carl Kasell’s “Zombie News”

• Trailer

“We had a lot of fun taking the film around to horror and fantasy fests,” Horwitz tells Fango. “We got to share ALICE with lots of hardcore zombie fans, and we even opened for George A. Romero, which was a tremendous honor. Shorts don’t easily reach the masses outside of festivals, so we’re very grateful that IndieFlix picked us up for on-line release. Of course, for the more zealous fans, our DVD has a lot of great stuff on it, including a behind-the-scenes look at what happens when a vegetarian actress devours raw beef. I’m glad we can finally share that with carnivorous horror fans everywhere.” And, he reveals, “I’m working on a feature version of the ALICE script.”
